Episode Synopsis

On the day of launch, the card game Exploding Kittens raised millions on Kickstarter, and went on to be one of the most successful campaigns in the history of the platform. In this episode Exploding Kittens Co-Founder Elan Lee shares what led up to that experience, how it felt to see those numbers continue to grow, and how the world of tabletop games has changed in the decades since that initial campaign. Elan is as great a story teller as he is a game designer and business leader and I know this episode will make you smile and think in equal measure.The Innovation Day Podcast is hosted by Neil Follett and produced by Chess Originals.
